Made in collaboration with craftspeople in India, Studio Makkink & Bey's totem cheese maker contains every tool needed to make cheese: a juicer, milk jug, spoon, pan, colander, cutting board, bowl, cheesecloth and press. Each component is made of a different material.
The piece draws inspiration from the similarities between lifestyle and culture in the Netherlands and India - including the long history of ceramic craft, the passion for hand-making cheese and the use of stacking for both houses and housewares, which all permeate both country's cultures.
